BRRsLAu, L. l., Feb. 5.-Phllip
Scheidewiler, farmer near here, aged
rs, and his third wife, aged "a, were
found dead in their house Thursday
morning, having been brutally murdered.
The man had been repeatedly stabbed
with huge butcher knife which was
found near him. His nose had been cut
off, both eyes gouged out the lips sever
ed, the left side Of the head broken open.
exposing the brain, the throat cut, and
the body had been perforated in q score
of places The room where this body
was found was deluged with blood. The
body OF Mrs. Schcidewiler was found ut
the bottom OF the cellar stairs. The
throat had been cut and there were many
stab wounds. The furniture in the house
had been turned upside down. the bureaus
broken open and the bed ripped up In
search Of plumber. II Is supposed that
the murderer secured 5000 which Scheidc-
wilder had saved up.
The murders probably occurred Satur-
day night. The neighbors had not seen
any one about the house since then, but
supposed the couple had gone away on
visit which they had spoken of. No at
tempt was made to enter the house there
fore. and the murderer has gained sever.

ery of the tragedy was finally made by a
relative who CHANGED to call, and, sus-
pecting something wrong, broke into the
house. There is no clue to the murderer.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
Thousands OF Freight Handlers Join

The extention of the strike Of freight
handlers on the railroad piers OF New
York is most serious blow to commerce
that the Union men have struck. The
effect of il on one road, the Jersey Cen
trail, It was admitted at the Office on the
dock this morning was almost q complete

out so suddenly that the company was
left at great disadvantage and Its inabil-

much inconvience to the merchants
New York, Feb. 8. The freight handlers
on the Pennsylvania roads piers A, . and

afternoon.
The freight handlers on the Pennsyl'
vania piers along North river sent in an
informal demand yesterday for an in
crease Of wages, with the threat that
they would strike to-day. They received
no answer and in consequence struck.
they sent delegation to the office OF
Agent Bowman, who refused TO see any
except those representing his own en-.
ployes. He told them the company
could not grant an advance. Bowman
told the committee who remained that
the men would never be taken back, Sow

The freight handlers on the Lehigh
Valley railroad at pier 2 North river, num-
bering 100 men, struck at two this
afternoon.
The strike Of the freight handlers on
the railroad piers added nearly 5000 men
TO the ranks of the idle. The temporary
stoppage of freight throws out several
hundred truckmen. On the Pennsyl-
vania railroad piers only ten men were
left at work. All the men on the piers Of

WITTRocK'S END ACHIEVED.
His Mothers Home Relieved From
mbrance.

His Mothers Home Relieved From
Incumbrance.
Wittrock, the chivalrous expess robber has
been an interesting study to psychologists.
When his arrest revealed the fact that the
Cummings letters had not been written to
shield an accomplice but to clear an innocent
man, the public while condemning hts rash
ness applauded his generosity. The romance
surrounding his criminal career was height
ened when IL became known that the incentive
OF the robber had been desire to relieve his
mothers home from mortgage. The state
ment made by Wittrock and the additional one
that before he would disclose the whereabouts
of the money provision must be made for pay
ing of the incumbrance on his mothers prop
erty were implicitly believed, the public having
come to share the opinion OF the detectives
that Wittrock was as honest man as ever
robbed train.
shown by the DEVELOPMENTS. Messrs. Jarvis,
Conklin 81 Co., who held the mortgage on
Mrs. Wittrock's place, yesterday received a
draft for 81, 92i, the full amount OF the incum-
brance. The history Of the transaction forms
an interesting chapter Of the crime The day
after the recovery of the money from Mrs.
WIttrock's house Pinkerton placed 81, 800 In
bank TO her credit to be used in paving of the
mortgage. Mrs. Wittrock wrote to Messrs. Jar
Wis, Conkln u Co stating that she had the
money in bank and asking the amount OF their
claim. The mortgage was originally for ST.
800, but the accrued interest and taxes
amounted to 1921. Mrs. Wittrock. on receiv-
ing reply, wrote to the express company and
the additional sum was placed to her credit.
In order that the money might not be used for
any other purpose, the first deposit was taken
up and a draft for the full amount made out
payable to the order of Mrs. Eliza F. Witt
rock. On the back OF the draft, which was
dated January s was the Endorsement, "Pay
TO the order OF Jarvis, Conklin q Co.. for the
release of certain mortgage on my
property on Miami street in Leavenworth."
The Endorsement was signed 'Mrs. Eliza +.
Wlttrock" in masculine hand and below the
name was written again Mrs. wittrock The
first signature was probably written by an Off
Ger of the express company. In any event
the draft was ironclad and could be used for
no other purpose than the one intended. This
closes as far as Wittrock Is concerned the
most remarkable or minal case on record. Al
though 1t was at the expense Of term in the
penitentary, Wittrock has accomplished what
he started out to do.-Rdnsas Citv Times.

Russian Couyicts i'm Siberia.

Statistics recently published In Russia show
that between 1854 and 1884 10000 persons
had been sent to Siberia as convicts. 1t is the
sole aim Of these wretches to get away from
their servtudc, and during the last twenty
wears ii is estimated that nearly twenty-five
per cent. of the whole number transported
have escaped. Most Of the exiles are In the
prime Of life, which makes 1t more difficult
for the government to maintain Its grip on
them. About one-fifth Of the convicts are
women, and most OF them are over 40 years
of age. Marrying is forbidden during the
first five years Of an exile's life In the penal
colony. The official statistics state that two
thirds of the crimes in Siberia are committed
by exiles
